METHADONE ???????

THOSE OF YOU WHO ARE TAKING OR HAVE TAKEN METHADONE IN THE PAST I HAVE A QUESTION. HAVE ANY OF YOU HAD PROBLEMS WITH SWELLING WITH THIS MEDICATION? I HAVE BEEN ON IT SINCE TUESDAY NIGHT AND MY HANDS AND FEET HAVE BEEN SWELLING NOT REALLY BAD, BUT THE ONLY OTHER TIME THAT I HAVE EVER HAD MY HANDS AND FEET SWELL WAS WHEN I WAS PREGNANT WITH MY YOUNGEST. ANY INPUT WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. ALSO I DID TALK TO MY DOC'S NURSE AND SHE SAID IT MIGHT BE THE METHADONE AND TO WATCH IT FOR A COUPLE DAYS. I WAS JUST CURIOUS IF ANYONE ELSE HAS HAD THIS TO DEAL WITH.

good luck to you, hope it helps your pain. Personally, I wouldn't recommend you stay on it for very long, but then if that is the only way you can get relief, it is your choice, of course. Can't judge anyone elses' pain, that's for certain.
